Told you I was also working on Great Northen War Swedes too! :D
First off, five tricorned infantry units, all based for ReG, MeG's renaissance spin-off for Lee.

Told you they were Sodermanland! I labelled all the bases as although the units are ROUGHLY similar, they all have subtle differences (hat piping, leg colours, etc)

Fresh off the blocks today, Upplanders

Eight loose shot, ten close pike for the visual effects.

I like the effect here

I'm not sure all units had grenadiers attached, certainly some were consolidated to assault parties. Lee decided he wanted them intergrated into units, so I enjoyed trying to find their mitre details, Uppland is one I definitely found and is correct.

They'll look good when they are painted ;) ;)
Well done mate, looks great! And man you work quickly, you have already more finished GNW units than I have xD
On the organisation of grenadiers in the swedish army, every regiment had roughly a company-sized amount of grenadiers that were split up and positioned on both batallions left and right flanks.
It's unclear how many regiments had specific grenadier caps for their grenadiers, but there's evidence of units getting cloth mitre caps as well as some the prussian style with a brass front plate, most would probably have had regular tricornes.

Thank you. That's kind of whereI ended up with my limited research,so I winged it in the end...
Happy to help, feel free to message me if there's something else GNW that you're wondering about! :) I'm sure you're aware of tacitus.nu (http://www.tacitus.nu/gnw/index.htm) as a great source of reference for GNW, but unfortunately there's a page on the swedish version about grenadiers that isn't in the english edition.
Seven more units done for Lee's collection, taking him to 12.
Some of these even travelled to Switzerland to be worked on!
I do apologise about the lack of diaeresis over some of the letters.

You thought that was a decent amount of figures and units?
100 Swedish cavalry

Sources say the Swedes rode with their knees behind each other, so you get a tightly packed wedge.

Twenty figures per unit over four bases gives quite the impression of BIG units. I love 10mm!

Great stuff as always. =D> The massed cavalry shows why I love 10mm.
Great work! :)
Thank you
Penultimate batch of Swedes done for Lee.

JUst a small artillry park then.....
Nice job Will.
I think the battery sergeant major will be wanting words about the jaunty angles these guns and limbers are deployed at ;D
Almost certainly
That's a clever use of the spare standard bearers! I never found a place for them since I use the ones from the MAL range for my swedes....

They were all just lying around, and it came to me...
Last two Swedish cavalry units, generic units to use up the figures.
